Why Mora’s Study Reminders Are Gentle by Design

Learning a language isn’t about perfect streaks or daily pressure.
It’s about coming back — calmly, consistently, and on your own terms.

That belief shapes everything in Mora, including how (and when) reminders work.

Why Mora sends reminders at all

Spaced repetition works best when you review words around the moment your brain is ready to forget them. That timing matters. But real life doesn’t run on algorithms. Days get busy. Time zones change. Motivation comes and goes. Mora’s reminders exist for one simple reason:
to help you notice when it’s a good moment to review — not to force you to do it.

Why reminders aren’t sent “the moment a card is due”

Some flashcards become due after a few hours. Others after weeks — or even months. If Mora emailed you every time a card became due, you’d get messages at random hours, sometimes multiple times a day. That’s distracting and stressful, not helpful. Instead, Mora uses a calmer approach:

• You choose your preferred time of day
• Mora checks whether you have cards ready around that time
• If yes, you get a single, predictable reminder

No surprises. No noise.

What happens if you miss a few days

Nothing bad happens. If you take a short break, Mora might send a gentle check-in — something like “Want to pick up where you left off?” If you stop studying for longer, Mora automatically pauses reminders. No guilt emails.
No “you’re falling behind” messages.
No pressure to maintain a streak. When you’re ready, you can simply come back and continue.

Reminders adapt to your learning — not the other way around

Spaced repetition means some cards return quickly, while others don’t come back for a long time. Mora treats each moment when cards become due as a fresh opportunity, not a failure to stay consistent. That’s why reminders are tied to when learning matters, not how long it’s been since you last opened the app.

You’re always in control

Email reminders in Mora are completely optional.

You can:

• turn them off anytime
• change your timezone
• choose the time you’d like to receive them

And Mora will only email you if:

• you have cards due, and
• you haven’t studied yet that day

Learning should feel supportive, not demanding

Mora is built around a simple idea:

Learning works best when it fits into your life.

Reminders are there to support you quietly in the background.
Nothing more.
